What happens

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is a 2024 American supernatural comedy film directed by Gil Kenan, who co-wrote it with Jason Reitman. It is the sequel to Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021), the fourth mainline and fifth overall installment in the Ghostbusters franchise. Featuring Paul Rudd, Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace, Ernie Hudson and Annie Potts reprising ther roles from the previous films, with Kumail Nanjiani and Patton Oswalt joining the cast, the film sees the veteran Ghostbusters returning to New York City and collaborating with their successors to save the world again from a new ancient evil. Following the success of Afterlife, Sony Pictures announced a sequel in April 2022 with Reitman returning to direct. In December, co-writer and executive producer Kenan took over as director, with Reitman remaining as co-writer and co-producer. That same month, Rudd, Coon, Wolfhard, Grace, Hudson, Potts, Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd were all confirmed to reprise their roles. New cast members, including Nanjiani and Oswalt, were announced in March 2023, with principal photography commencing that month and wrapping in June as Dario Marianelli composed the film's score. It is the first film of the franchise to be released following the death of co-creator and Reitman's father Ivan, who posthumously receives a producer credit, and the film is dedicated to his memory. Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire premiered at the AMC Lincoln Square Theater in New York City on March 14, 2024 and was released in the United States on March 22 by Sony Pictures Releasing. The film received mixed reviews from critics and grossed $202 million on a budget of $100 million. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
